Notes About The Poem

dark, pain, nostalgia, memories, wish, dream, rose

- Death Came As a Cold Gust -

Where sorrow and silence reigns
When all words are used up

The bottomless grief
Loss gives the feeling of hopelessness

You fell asleep so quiet when the journey was over
Goodbye to nature and animals you were so fond of

We feel a emptiness, yet you are close
You were for us all so dearly loved




* In memory of a friend who died today
  Astrid, died too young

A beautiful tribute...the deepest sadness has no words to express...only comfort stays with the knowledge of having known someone where moments were shared

A touching and moving writing for the departed dear friend, Anne-Lise! As my condolence I offer you this verse of mine written some two years ago! " Death is a celestial pillow upon which the soul rests for a while dreaming of the life to come."
